google maps markers not displaying
-
I know someone has already reported this issue a while back but I wanted to see if there was a fix for this issue….
Basically, if a map with more than a few markers is embedded using the short code, it fails to display the markers. Works fine for a map with just a couple of markers however.
I can hyperlink a jpg to the map instead but wanted something a bit slicker! Any ideas?
cheers

Would you please give us a link to the post or page on your blog where this isn’t working?

Hi,
I haven’t got the page setup with the embedded map as it doesn’t work properly.
If you just want an example of a map, here is the KML link to embed:

That could be the problem there. We can’t embed KML files, but we can embed using Google’s iframe.
See this for details: http://en.support.wordpress.com/google-maps/

Not sure that will work – try this:
Hi, I’d like to share a Google Maps link with you. Link: <https://maps.google.com/maps/ms? msa=0&msid=202630939931659870369.0004c030b04aedea94b8c&ui=maps&ie=UTF8&ll=41.836828,-74.970703&spn=16.424463,26.323242&t=h&z=5&vpsrc=6>

I can’t seem to get the Iframe to work if the markers list go onto page 2 though. Sorta limits the amount of markers that can be used on a map.
I think I got the KML to display just no markers showing at all.
-
Yes, that won’t work here. Can you give me the link to the map on Google? it will be in the “paste link” field above the iframe code.

It looks like this is the link:
https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=202630939931659870369.0004c030b04aedea94b8c&msa=0 -
The iframe code seems to work
<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=202630939931659870369.0004c030b04aedea94b8c&ui=maps&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=41.836828,-74.970703&spn=16.424463,26.323242&output=embed"></iframe>
<small>View Bike Route in a larger map</small>heyivegotanidea – I have some friends that are planning a trip and would like to use a map like you are using – but I have been having problems finding instructions on how to make a map like you have made – have you found good instructions on how to make a map like yours?
thanks

Hi Auxclass, its just a screen grab of a saved Google map with markers so it’s not interactive.
I’d recommend your friends use a hosting site which will allow you to embed a KML map instead – it will look a lot better!
Cheers

No not just a screen shot of a static map
The Google map I embedded in my test site is interactive – you can move the map around scroll north, south or wherever, zoom in and out and click on the way-points I put on the map – visitors can’t add their own stuff to the map but that is all –

This is the test map on a test site – you can move around on the map and zoom etc.

Auxclass – you only have 7 markers on that map so it will work fine. If you need something which will allow a route map with a lot more markers, WordPress.com is no good I am afraid.
